Description

Enhancement Priority: High
Issue description

My movies are stored in a single folder, with a sub folder for each movie like this:
/mnt/.../movies/MovieName.1080p.bla-bla/MovieName.1080p.bla-bla.mp4
When i add the moves folder in buld-add /mnt/.../movies/, it searches only the top folder, and not recursive into the folders.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Bulk-add a folder, with sub folders containing movie
  2. Nothing happens.
Expected Behaviour

I was expecting it to search all sub folders recursively

Actual Behaviour

Searches the top folder, and ignores content of sub folders
